Pricing, bookkeeping, and tax prep aren’t exactly the most exciting parts of running a microbakery—but they are essential to building a profitable and sustainable business. In this episode, I sit down with Megan from Purple Elephant Group for a deep dive into bookkeeping, pricing strategies, and how to stay organized for tax season. Megan is a former bakery owner turned financial expert, and she’s here to break it all down in a way that’s practical, actionable, and easy to understand.

If you've ever wondered when to raise your prices, how to track your expenses, or whether it's time to hire a bookkeeper, this episode is packed with insights you don’t want to miss. We also cover how to handle waste, account for donations, and avoid common financial mistakes that could be costing you money.
